GA: No Charges for Young Men who Fired Back at Deadly Assailant

Two men are killed, two others injured in a late-night shootout at a Dekalb County gas station.

Police say at around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday group of men was hanging out in front of the Exxon at the corner of Glenwood and Austin.  According to detectives, 59-year-old Charles Hickman walked up and fatally shot one of the men in the group.
